Vanessa Velez is a Registered Massage Therapist (CRMTA) with advanced training from Makami College and a strong therapeutic focus on deep tissue massage and muscular recovery.

Known for her therapeutic approach and attention to detail, Vanessa Velez works closely with clients experiencing chronic muscular tension, postural stress, overuse discomfort, and mobility restrictions. She believes massage therapy should be purposeful, personalized, and adapted to support long-term physical wellness.

Therapeutic & Deep Tissue Focus

Vanessa specializes in therapeutic and deep tissue techniques designed to target areas of chronic tension and muscular dysfunction. Her treatments may benefit clients experiencing:

Chronic neck, shoulder, and back tension Sciatic-related discomfort Piriformis syndrome Plantar fasciitis Muscle tightness and mobility restrictions Tension-related headaches Sprains and strains Recovery support following motor vehicle accidents (MVA)

Every treatment begins with a thorough assessment to understand each client’s concerns, health history, lifestyle, and treatment goals. Vanessa then tailors the session accordingly, adjusting pressure and techniques to ensure both effectiveness and client comfort.

Customized Treatments

While deep tissue therapy is one of Vanessa’s primary areas of focus, she understands that every body responds differently to treatment. Depending on the client’s needs, sessions may also incorporate therapeutic massage techniques, cupping therapy, aromatherapy, or hot stone therapy to support recovery, relaxation, and overall well-being.

Professional Care with a Personalized Approach

Vanessa strives to create a welcoming, professional environment where clients feel comfortable, listened to, and supported throughout their care. Her goal is to help clients move better, feel better, and maintain a healthier balance through thoughtful, individualized treatment.

As a young athlete and competitor, I discovered the importance of injury management through chiropractic treatment and manual therapies. In conjunction with managing my inflammatory arthritic condition, chiropractic care has been an immensely positive influence in my life. This led me to a developed appreciation for the chiropractic profession and for what it has to offer. The result of which has led to life-long learning of the human body and how to optimise health. With a person-centered approach, I aim to provide individuals with evidence-informed, personalised care that can help improve overall quality of life.

I was raised in Northwest Calgary and am an active member of the community. My studies began at Lakeland College where I was on a sports scholarship being an integral part of the men’s soccer team. I continued my studies in Biological Sciences at University of Alberta before completing my Doctor of Chiropractic in Toronto at Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College.

I am motivated to forge lasting relationships that emphasise overall wellness and encourage people to take a proactive approach when it comes to their health. With personal experience in combination with my knowledge in various treatment techniques I am able to provide customised care that will help patients achieve their goals.

During my free time, I enjoy participating in competitive men’s soccer along with running and cycling. A personal highlight being the completion of the Toronto Waterfront Marathon. In addition, I enjoy volunteering with various organisations in the city. When not in the clinic, you can find me in the mountains camping, hiking, skiing or spending time with my family, friends or travel
